The rug is made from 100% cowhide leather, cowhide patches taken from different cows/ox hides and hand-stitched to give a modern classy eye blink design. At the back there is acrylic felt backing, which makes the rug lay flat, grip to the floor and protects it from any underneath floor moisture. Securely rolled packed on a cardboard pole this protects it while in transit and makes it lay flat once unpacked.
